Police were called to a residence on Sherburne Road at 1:50 a.m. Tuesday after receiving a 911 call, Portsmouth Police Captain Mike Schwartz said. Officers then rendered medical treatment to an adult who had been stabbed at least twice with a knife, Schwartz said.

Portsmouth Fire Department personnel transported the victim to Portsmouth Regional Hospital, where the victim was treated and released. Schwartz declined to comment on the age or gender of the victim.

Police arrested Dianne E. Walker, of 510 Sherburne Road, at the scene and charged her with two counts of first degree assault.

Schwartz said alcohol consumption was a factor in the incident, but he declined to comment on the information that led to Walker's arrest.

"That would be part of the case," he said. "I mean, there's still information that's being gathered. We still have to get medical records and things like that, but based on just our response out there — what was present out there — she was taken into custody at the scene."

Walker was released on $10,000 personal recognizance bail and $500 cash bail. She is scheduled to be arraigned in Portsmouth Circuit Court on March 4.
